Egg Cauliflower Fried Rice

in Recipes

This is a wonderful way to hide cauliflower. My husband thought he hated cauliflower and would refuse to eat it. One day, I took the cauliflower and turned it into stir fried rice. I made it and popped it into our usual rice pan. When it was dinner time, I served it as though it was our regular rice. He ate every mouthful on his plate and said, “That’s great rice.” When I told him it was cauliflower, he was amazed! He now requests our special “cauliflower rice” instead of regular rice.

I think the sesame oil and soy sauce do the trick and hide the original flavor of the cauliflower. Try it and you will be surprised how good it is!
